the legislative branch writes the law, executive branch interprets -- actually executes the law and the judicial branch interprets it. >> let me ask you about some of the new statistics that are out there. one is that 100,000 people signed up for obama care on the federal change in november, more than three times the number in october. also spending has grown by an estimated 1.3% a year since 2010. that's the lowest on record. price inflation is at its lowest rate in 50 years. the slow growth in health care spending has made a big dent in the long-term federal budget. so aren't those all good things? >> well, those would be good things. 100,000 people getting involved but there weren't five million people were kicked off their insurance. so 100,000 signing up when five million people lost it is a tough figure to say that's a positive thing. you've still got millions that don't have insurance and have had difficulty signing up. and if they don't sign up in the next three weeks, people that were insured are going to lose insurance in january. if you look at just my district, for instance,

i mean the laws that have passed have been far more meaningful to the good than the laws that have been passed to the negative. make no mistake, we're always swimming against the tide of the corporate gun lobby trying to do everything they can to undermine sensible change on this issue. we've definitely done a lot not only to stem that tide but make tremendous progress. even on the federal level. that manbill that didn't pass, 54 yes evotes. it's only because of the wacky rules of the senate that it didn't pass by a majority. we are on the trajectory to create the kind of change that the american public wants and we're going to stay at it until we get it and do what we call finish the job and pass expanded brady background checks nationally. >> one of the things we heard after newtown was that, and this is again from opponents of reform in our gun laws, this is really a mental health issue, it's not about guns. so this afternoon vice president biden is going to announce that $100 million is going to be available to increase access to mental health services, including $50 million for com
